[Hermes]
Oh the Road to Hell there was a railroad track

[Persephone]
Oh, come on!

[Hermes]
There was a train comin' up from way down below

[Persephone]
That was not six months!

[Fates]
Better go and get your suitcase packed, guess it's time to go

[Hermes]
She's gonna ride that train

[Ensemble]
Ride that train

[Hermes]
She's gonna ride that train

[Ensemble]
Ride that train!

[Hermes]
She's gonna ride that train until the end of the line
Because the King of the Mine is coming to call
Did you ever wonder what it's like on the underside?

[Ensemble]
Way down under

[Hermes]
On the yonder side?

[Ensemble]
Way down yonder

[Hermes]
On the other side of his lawn?

[Hermes]
Follow that dollar for a long way down
Far away from the poorhouse door
You either get to hell or to Hadestown
Ain't no difference anymore!
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Hermes]
Hound dog howl and the whistle blow
Train come a-rollin, clickety-clack
Everybody tryin' to get a ticket to go
Those who go they don't come back
They goin'

[Ensemble]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Hermes]
Ha!

[Persephone]
Winter's night and summer's o'er
Hear that high and lonesome sound
Of my husband coming for
To bring me home to Hadestown

[Ensemble]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Persephone]
Down there, it's a bunch of stiffs
Brother, I'll be bored to death
Gonna have to import some stuff
Just to entertain myself
Give me morphine in the tin
Give me a crate of the fruit of the vine
Takes a lot of medicine
To make it through the wintertime

[Ensemble]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Fates]
Every little penny in the wishing well
Every little nickel on the drum

[Ensemble]
On the drum!

[Fates]
All them shiny little heads and tails
Where do you think they come from?
They come from

[Ensemble]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Hermes]
Everybody hungry
Everybody tired
Everybody slaves by the sweat of his brow
The wage is nothing and the work is hard
It's a graveyard in Hadestown

[Ensemble]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Hermes]
Mr. Hades is a mean old boss

[Persephone]
With a silver whistle and a golden scale

[Ensemble]
An eye for an eye!

[Hermes]
And he weighs the cost

[Ensemble]
A lie for a lie!

[Hermes]
And your soul for sale

[Ensemble]
Sold!

[Persephone]
To the king on the chromium throne

[Ensemble]
Thrown!

[Persephone]
To the bottom of a Sing Sing cell

[Hermes]
Where the little wheel squeals and the big wheel groans

[Fate]
And you better forget about your wishing well

[Ensemble]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Hermes]
On the Road to Hell, there was a railroad car
And the car door opened and a man stepped out
Everybody looked and everybody saw
It was the same man they'd been singing about

[Persephone]
You're early

[Hades]
I missed you

[Fates]
Mr. Hades is a mighty king
Must be making some mighty big deals
Seems like he owns everything

[Eurydice]
Kinda makes you wonder how it feels

[Hermes]
All aboard
A-one, A-two
A-one, two, three, four

[Ensemble]
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground
Way down under the ground
Way down under the ground
